Quick admin note: commenting, updated

Good news: Blogger has added comment moderation to its administrative bag of tricks. That means I no longer need to worry about coming home to a fresh batch of comment spam.

Effective immediately, I've made a couple of tiny changes to how comments are managed on this blog:

I've activated comment moderation. When you click on the Publish button, your comment will go into a queue for review. Queued comments will appear on the blog after I've had a chance to review and publish them. I'll try to do this a few times/day so as to minimize delays.

Anyone can comment. I used to limit commenters to registered users of the Blogger service. This kept anonymous nasties at bay, but made it difficult-to-impossible for users of other services - or, gasp, readers who don't blog at all - to leave their thoughts. With moderation, this issue goes away, so the doors are now open to anyone.

I'll keep word verification on for now, and will update you as things change here. Thanks for continuing to read and share in the experience.

Let us know if the comment moderation works well for you. I noticed that recently, but I wondered why you would need that as wella s comment verification. Seems to me that one or the other would work well.

During my visit this morning I decided to look through your pictures, and stare at those fabulously beautiful chidlren of yours. My goodness, whenever I look at them I am mesmerized by the beauty of their eyes! They are gorgeous!
